In Australia, the footballer made coming out

Ex-football player, Australian club Newcastle jets Andy Brennan for the first time in the history of Australian football admitted that he was a homosexual.

“To be free is a way to feel comfortable and be yourself.

I got to the point when I realized that you need to recognize myself as I am. I’ve thought a lot about it, tried to hide because of how others may perceive it to be.

It seemed to me that if I do come out, people will be different to me. But luckily, I needn’t have worried, and right now I’m happy,” wrote the player in his Instagram account.

It’s taken me years to get comfortable saying this – I’m gay. I was scared it would affect my friendships, my teammates, and my family. But the support of the people around me has been so great and helped me get to the final step; being completely open. Being open is the best way for me to feel most comfortable and be myself. So… carry on! 🌈 #owlyagoing
